Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here and for your work on this important file.
I'd like to ask you a question about timing. This is a relatively simple bill. It's a little bit surprising that it's taken this long for Canada to recognize the government of the Haida, given that it just celebrated its 50th year under that model. I digress, but I know you probably share that frustration.
Given that the House of Commons right now is deadlocked in debating a privilege motion with no end in sight, how can we work together as parties? I'm sensing a strong level of support among all parties at this table to pass this bill into law. How can we work together? What opportunity exists to move this bill through third reading, ensure it gets royal assent and becomes Canadian law?
